I LOVE kringla! It is funny that two previous reveiws are from Morris becaue I myslef live in Minooka and Morris is our ultimate rival! They are right though, Kringla is often made around holidays in Grundy County to this day. My recipe varies a little from this one but is generally the same. I make mine smaller so they are almost bite size. My family loves them and I am sure yours will too! 5 stars

Would make this again.
Wow! I also grew up in Morris, IL and have enjoyed Kringla my entire life. Ouy recipe (sour cream, not buttermilk) has been handed down through the family. My ancestors were among the first to settle in Grundy County in 1834 and Kringla have been a big part of our holidays for generations. My new neighbors and friends LOVE them and ask for them every year. 5 stars

Would make this again.
first time making kringla and this recipe was great- I did substitute crisco for butter. And I think for first timers, it is important to add in the directions that you will need a floured surface to roll the dough 5 stars
